Resources for the School Nurse

A sound protocol guides the emergency response that school nurses direct in the school setting. The sample protocol offered here has been created as a template to guide the creation of a tool that can be adapted for your school district, consistent with your state law. Prior to use, these protocols must be vetted by school physician or designee according to school district health procedures.

The Voluntary Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provide valuable information to assist school nurses in developing or enhancing a comprehensive food allergy management program for the school community. The checklist provides an overview of how to use this document and provide leadership in your individual practice of school nursing.

The Get Trained School Nursing Program was created through an unrestricted grant from Mylan Specialty.
